The #1 Rust Spot on a BMW E30, Fixed | BMW E30 325i Touring Restoration - Part 6
Win This 1989 BMW E30 325i Touring - Follow me on Raffall to know when the competition starts - raffall.com/restore_it
In this episode of Restore It, I tackle the tricky and infamous NOT jacking point on the E30. Many people mistake this spot for a jacking spot, the metal bends, the underseal breaks, moisture gets in, and the rust begins. This has to be one of the most common spots of rust on all of the BMW E30s. In episode 6, I'm taking you through what I did to replace the rust with good matching metal to bring it back to factory specs.
I also deal with three more simple rust spots in the right footwell, behind the pedals. Although simple in theory, they are an absolute pain to get to. Fi...

i don't know how you find parts to complete this project. i'm having a heck of a time with a simple restoration on a 1991 vert
Jimny weight reduction. I think that the amount of rust removed has decreased the kerb weight significantly.
The lesson here is do not, ever, allow rust to form on your car!
Rock on !
3:31 The most funny comment on the channel.
i bought a blk/blk/blk 1992 BMW E30 vert. small bit of rust in the rear wheel well drivers side and behind the old rear battery box. I cannot find anyone to work on this - apparently its a skill no one learns any longer. Please suggest how to find someone to do this type of work, how do i find them, what do i look for, or what question do I need to ask to ensure they are reputable.
hey, when episode 5 will come out?
Check the right side back corner for rust, i am just repairing my own e30 touring in that corner where the box is
I would not trust a single piece of this axle. Too much rust.
What a great job! I would give up at the first hidden rusted piece
Can somebody tell me where to find the music from this video please?
Id love to do this but I would have no idea how any of it would go back
Cracking finish mate, must have been a nightmare to figure out how it was meant to go back together
Always like your work, those points might be very confusing. Great job. It's looks like you should increase amperage a little bit. Those welds doesn't seem to be fully fused
Love the video and really good to watch, very jealous. But the Gen 3 ran from 1998 -> 2018, surely easier to find a newer replacement!
i know youve probably heard it before, but i cant not say anything any longer. please wear protection while welding. the uv light causes cancer.
I will be making more of an effort to wear gloves from now on, thanks!
I love the ridiculous amount of effort you put in. The end results are stellar!
Haha, thanks, dude. This one was a bit mental...
Can't really argue with the results!
Thanks dude!
Great job I hope the customer appreciated the work you did. In fairness 2 years work on a car like that is not bad at all.
Thanks, Rob! It was way more work than I was expecting to do, but I'm glad I went through it for the experience.
Genuinely so helpful for those that do this type of work themselves.
I'm glad to hear this! Cheers, dude!
Excellent job
Thanks, Morgan!
Looks complex, good work!
Twas a nightmare, haha. Cheers!
Good stuff, you're more thorough than I was when I was starting off but your welding needs a bit of practice though! The welds look like either the voltage is too low but it could just be a case of angling the MIG torch at 45 degrees so the weld isn't just sitting on top of the steel. Try welding for a split second longer and see if that helps. Once you're got everything dialed in and you've got the "knack" you're there. Came up nice though once all ground down though. Another BMW saved is always a good thing!
Thanks for the tips, dude! I'm going to keep this comment in mind for the next time I weld!
@@RestoreIt I hope I didn't come across as being rude, BTW! Also, try using .8 wire instead, I tend to get on better with that than .6. You're using CO2 Argon mix so that always helps with the penetration.
I can recomend CuSi3 for filling up the gaps between your welding points - its much easier and faster to grid afterwards. I used it at my E36, was a very good experience! Contact me for questions!
Interesting!
Have you checked our Yorkshire Car Restoration's channel, who have done that point on a few BMW's recently?
I've seen their channel but don't have much free time to watch it
@@RestoreIt If you find time they've done 3 E30s recently. They do most of it from sheet steel rather than purchased panels and show how how some of the more complex sections are fabricated from multiple pieces.
very enjoyable video & good work too boot.
Thanks, James!
My guy you need to be wearing gloves when you're welding!! The UV exposure over time is no joke.
Roger that, I'll get some new ones. Mine are all a bit worn
This content is far more like it. Like what you used to do. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you're enjoying it
I never use UV filters on any of my lenses, but when shooting in workshops and dusty/sandy areas, i often do. You should try! :)
I have one now :D
Love the work you put in! You could save yourself a lot of time by getting the settings on your welder right though. I recommend using to pieces of scrap (same thickness as the ones you wanna weld) and just experiment til you find what works best. ...at least that's what I did when I first started as a welder, over time you develop a feel for what works as a starter setting. Keep up the great work, love the E30 and really glad to se one getting a second chance on the road. 👍🏻
Thanks for the tips dude. I will try and turn it up as much as I can and make the gaps smaller. Hopefully this will improve things.
My welding improved a lot once i switched back to the standard 0.8mm welding wire
I'm hearing this a lot... i may have to swtich back to see for myself....
Nice booger welds
I'm still learning! I'm just doing it on camera.
"don't worry, I now have lens protection" Great! What about welding gloves?
I do need to wear the pairs I have more often, I can't argue with that!
There would be better e30 bodies than this one sitting in wrecker’s yards here in Australia. We don’t have the same rust problem because we don’t have your winter.
Consider yourself very lucky then Mr! :D
Honest question: how does this amount of work come even close to a break even in the end?
In the case of this video, without a brand deal, it probably hasn't, but it's not all about making money directly from each episode. The car is going to be raffled at the end of the series. Cheers!
Jesus ! That eye and tooth stuff sounds like a proper ordeal. Glad to hear you are through to the other side with your eye intact. Scary stuff.
It was a bit much all at once,. yes. Thank you!
Glad you didn't lose an eye! Amazing work, looks professional.
Me too! And thank you!
very good job
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Get a UV filter for your lenses so the filters get ruined not the cameras!!! Saves it
I have one now :D
What an outstanding job!! you're simply awesome!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
It looks great. Sorry to hear about your mishaps. The metal in your eye must have been a bit scary and painful no doubt. I hope you have recovered well. 👍
It was awful! and thanks!!
Fantastic to have you back
Good to be back, cheers!
